No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.3 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 12% below typical. The grade counts 12 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.34× and violations 0.65× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Injury crashes
    3 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Jul 2026 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 6.5% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.9% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • Dangerous driving: 8
